I took a look at the new girl that will play Lara Croft and I have to say..she does not do the character any justice. Lara Croft animated does not look as gorgeous but when Angelina gave life to the animation..she rocks it. Angelina would have been wonderful. I will not see this next movie because it would not be the same. YOu cant get into it when you know the last two was someone else. Its just not the same. Plus..Angelina does own the role..once shes done it..no one can fit that shoe. This new Lara Croft does not look tough and exotic enough. I have been wishing for another sequel but..nevermind since its going to be played by someone else. That truly sucks in my opinion.

‘Changeling’ highlights N.Y. festival

By DADE HAYES

Clint Eastwood’s “Changeling” will make its North American preem as the centerpiece of the 46th New York Film Festival, the Film Society of Lincoln Center said Tuesday.

Fest runs Sept. 26-Oct. 12.

Universal’s “Changeling,” which drew plaudits in Cannes, stars Angelina Jolie as Christine Collins, a single mother in 1928 Los Angeles who embarks on a quest for justice when her 9-year-old son goes missing.

Unlike downtown’s comparative upstart Tribeca, the New York Film Festival remains a small-scaled, tastemaking affair featuring the cream of the international crop.

ligaya, I didn’t know that your sons were in the showbiz industry. This explains why you are so knowledgeable about the industry. Thanks a lot for your posts, they are very informative. Also, congratulations for your sons’ successful careers!

Ligaya, you are to modest. Possibly your son’s interest in show business started when they saw how interested you were. Any way we all benefit by your knowledge. You comments make all of us have a better understanding. And some times your comments make me laugh out loud. Any way it is fun knowing you.

P.S. to my post under moderation: Not that my sons’ jobs make my opinion worth more than others.

OK, there are a few things I quibble with, but overall, this is one woman’s appreciation of Angelina’s beauty and fashion sense:

Susannah Frankel: Ready To Wear

Fashion issue of the week: where on earth did Angelina Jolie get “that nightie”? I love Angelina Jolie. Despite her best efforts to be humdrum, to fit in with us mere mortals, she positively radiates superstardom. She’s not averse to stepping out in a tent of a dress, pregnant or otherwise, and preferably a grey one, and still she upstages anyone else in their glittering finery on the red …

Great point, Margaritam.

Mary Ann, I believe Angelina’s longtime manager Geyer Kosinski takes care of that. They’ve collaborated a long time together. I guess he channels everything (except the worthless, of course ;-) ) to Angelina, gives her his opinion, and she does the rest. She may look for projects on her own too. Angelina’s the one who tells Geyer when she’s ready to make another movie and what kind (action, drama, etc.) of script to look for.

My son, Ryan Fleck, wrote and directed his first feature “Half Nelson” – for which Ryan Gosling was nominated best actor Oscar. Ryan F.’s 2nd feature “Sugar” will be released by Sony Pictures Classics in 2009, just in time for baseball season – it’s about a poor, young man from the Dominican Republic who’s recruited into the minor leagues and his experiences. My other son (I won’t name him because he’s not public) is a film editor currently working on When in Rome (Anjelica Huston, Jon Heder – Napoleon Dynamite, Will Arnett – Arrested Development). He also worked on Frontline: The Storm, Factory Girl and the Nanny Diaries.

My sons know *way lot* more than me since they’re in the business. OTOH, I’ve been a movie fan since 1960, very curious and interested in how movies are made and marketed the people who make them, its role in pop culture, etc. – so I know a little. :-)
